Twin Peaks-ologists were teased with a suitably mysterious hint about a possible revival of the classic 1990s drama this weekend, as the show’s creators David Lynch and Mark Frost simultaneously tweeted the following cryptic message:

David Lynch (@DAVID_LYNCH)

Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style! #damngoodcoffee

It was posted at precisely 11.30am, the exact time that Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) first enters the town of Twin Peaks.

These “twin tweets” have pointed Lynch experts towards Agent Cooper’s assertion that “when two events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry we must always pay strict attention”.

It was the latest in a series of events that have pointed towards the possibility of a return for the show. There has been a recent snap of Lynch with MacLachlan, and Lynch offered a non-committal answer to a question about the continuation of the series: “I’ve always said: I love a continuing story, to love a world and to be able to go deeper and deeper into that world. So there’s always a possibility.”

But if a third season is confirmed, what would it look like and which stories would it tell? We’ve consulted our log and here are our thoughts.

1. The Bob-in-Cooper mystery continued

When the disappointing, feet-dragging second season reached its conclusion, it was revealed that the spirit of Bob had entered Dale Cooper. While it had most viewers screaming “for the love of Bob!” at their screens, I would like to know how that unpopular plot strand played out. How long would Bob have been in Cooper? What dastardly deeds would he have committed?

2. ‘25 Years Later’

The actor who played Laura Palmer’s father, Ray Wise, recently commented that if the show returned, it would be a real-time revisit. “They wouldn’t remake it,” he said. “If anything was done, it would be 25 years later.” He added: “David always said the town of Twin Peaks is still there; it’s still going on whether we watch it or not.”

It would seem entirely fitting to revisit the characters of Twin Peaks and see how they would have developed since the last time we saw them. Would we find out that Donna and Audrey were related? Would we finally meet Diane? Would some of the characters actually be “sad car salesmen”?

3. A proper prequel

Although some fans were disappointed with the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, it did let viewers know what a prequel/sequel would look like. But what if Lynch and Frost went full prequel for the third season, picking up the mysteries of Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me and running with them? There was certainly enough auxiliary material in spinoff books The Autobiography of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper and The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. Equally, Lynch and Frost could explore the mysteries left unsolved in Fire Walk With Me, such as the disappearance of FBI special agent Chester Desmond (Chris Isaak).
